Many thanks,

Thanks Bruce,
The sponge in the upper photos is Euryspongia. The way the colony is almost totally covered in overgrowing plants seems to be a fairly usual occurrence for this species.

In the lower photo the buccal bulb is partially everted but I am unable to identify the sponge material in the lower photo.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
